Google's AI mode states:

The OpenSSH |pkcs11_init| function
In the OpenSSH source code, the |pkcs11_init(int interactive)| function 
is a wrapper for the standard |C_Initialize| call.

  * *|interactive = 0| (non-interactive):* In this mode, the application
    assumes it cannot prompt the user for input and handles
    authentication, such as a PIN, automatically. If the library
    requires user interaction that is not possible, the operation may fail.
  * *|interactive = 1| (interactive):* The library is set up to allow
    for user-facing prompts. For example, a cryptographic token may
    require the user to enter a PIN. In interactive mode, the
    application can display a prompt and accept the PIN from the user.
